The joke about Madeira Cake was pretty much the FIRST part of the entire show to be written, as it was a joke made while Steve and I were on a train somewhere to do Total Hero Team. Actually, the whole "patter" bit was written before the rest of the show too, it occurred to me one day and I wrote it down in case it was ever needed... then when I started the show I thought "Sod waiting, I'll stick it in here."

As I type this we've never performed the song live, but I really hope that someone somewhere appreciates the fact that the final chord is the same final chord as for "A Day In The Life"!
